I don't understand why you'd sacrifice the functionality and comfort of a normal keyboard.
When you say normal you mean "full width" (including num block etc.) ?
I want my keyboard more narrow so the mouse / trackpad isn't so far off to the right -
that way I don't have to reach so far to the right everytime, it's more ergonomical.
Plus I really don't need a num block, can't remember ever using one to be frank.When you mean "mechanical" (instead of chiclet style) then yea, I'm just quite used to the magic keyboard of my macbook; reason why I don't get an external one is because I don't like the white and it is indeed a bit cramped (I use arrow keys a lot and really don't get why they don't make them t-shaped at least like, they do in the recent laptops).

No, I understand why some might drop that or have a tenkeyless(?). I mean more that the Nuphy Nutype F1 you posted seems abnormally small. It's made the sort of compromises you make with a tinny laptop out of necessity, but with almost every human sized desk you wouldn't. Although I do think it's cleaver.
Unless you're working at something like this

Now tax is out of the way I was going to get a new keyboard, but TBH I'm now a bit put off by the idea of having something neat that then requires a massive wrist rest.
I like to have/use a notepad - especially as I'm stuck with one laptop screen. So adding more shit to my work area doesn't appeal.
